"Riverdale" Star KJ Apa Upset Canadians by Calling Vancouver "Boring"

While Riverdale may be a fictitious city full of murder and beautiful, lush greenery, much of the show actually films in Vancouver, Canada. KJ Apa, one of the stars of the hit CW series, was recently asked about living in the city and his response looks to have incited the ire of a few Canadians.

As Seventeen points out, the actor stopped by Live With Kelly and Ryan before Wednesday premiere of the second season. They started talking about how KJ works alongside host Kelly Ripa's husband Mark Conseulos, who joined the series as Veronica's father, Hiram Lodge. KJ said that he always sees Mark at the gym and how there's a couple of really good ones in Vancouver. To which Kelly inquired about how he likes living in the city.

"The food's really good," KJ answered. "The only thing is when you're there for a long time, it can get kind of boring. The city's not the biggest city in the world and everything shuts kind of early as well."

However, some Vancouver lovers did not take well to KJ's comments. One person wrote in the YouTube comments of the video,"If you think Vancouver is boring, then stop shooting there and taking our tax money." Another person wrote, "KJ WHYYY would you think Vancouver is boring??? It's a pretty dang big city."

News network CTV Vancouver also tweeted out, "Do you think Riverdale star KJ apa has a point about Vancouver?" to which people had some words. One person responded, "I've never watched his show because it's boring. I guess we're all entitled to our opinions!" Another replied with the ever-so-shady "Who?"
